00:02A sea of green and gold, Socceroo's spirit firmly on display.
00:08When the others are playing, there's always energy.
00:12From the pub in Port Macquarie, to the pavement in Parramatta, live sites across the state were packed out.
00:25We enjoy the soccer, but it's the atmosphere that really makes it.
00:28Thousands of fans donned their green and gold to watch the action play out in the middle of a work

01:19Australia's first two games were early morning fixtures, but this one started at the more manageable time of midday, making
01:26it a lot more acceptable to hit the pub afterwards and celebrate.
01:33Excitement that'll only build in the games to come.
